US support "to Israel's right to defend itself is ironclad... and that's not going to change."

The US' "ironclad commitment to Israel's security... has never been stronger."

"Without humanitarian aid, even our best friends will find it difficult to support us for a long time."

"Israel has to be very careful, because you're losing a lot of the world, you're losing a lot of support."

"If [Israel] keeps this up with this incredibly conservative government... they're going to lose support from around the world."

Israelis "are facing major, possibly generational damage to their reputation."

"[U]nless Israel changes its course it will continue to lose support."

Israel is "burning through its reserves of international support."

"When all this is over... International sympathy will have expired and Israel will be forced to exist in an even greater state of siege."

“I will not allow it [a two-state solution]."

Netanyahu's government "doesn't want anything remotely approaching a two-state solution.

"The only thing that Iran and Israel have in common is that neither of them believes in a two-state solution."

"[T]he current conflict is likely to put the last nail in the coffin of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process."

"A two-state solution exists only in theory. In practice, it died long ago."

"The war between Israel and Hamas makes the two-state solution less viable than ever before."

“[W]hat has happened on 7 October has postponed the possibility of the two-state solution."

"The two-state solution remains on the table, if only for the lack of any viable alternative."

"If Israel has the will, or capacity, to relocate 200,000 settlers from the West Bank and Jerusalem, a two-state solution is a viable option."

"If international actors can muster enough political will and capital... they could still bring about [a two-state solution]."

“[The two-state solution] is the only solution – there is no realistic competition.”

Pro-Trump narrative

Trump's so-called "peace" deal in Gaza is a façade. While he touts a ceasefire, Hamas continues to exert control through violence, while Israel continues to kill Palestinians. The international community remains skeptical, with no clear commitment to enforce the agreement. There is an underlying lack of genuine progress toward lasting peace.

Can U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas deliver lasting peace?

Anti-Trump narrative

Israel’s defensive actions in Gaza prove why peace remains fragile: Hamas still rules through fear, executing opponents and exploiting aid routes. Despite Trump’s historic deal and Israel’s restraint, militants keep violating the ceasefire lines, showing they never wanted peace. Until Gaza is free from Hamas’ tyranny, no agreement can guarantee Israel’s security.

Pro-Israel narrative

Israel’s latest killings in Gaza, just days into a ceasefire, show its disregard for Palestinian lives and peace. Even after a deal meant to end the bloodiest war, Israel continues using lethal force against civilians while claiming “self-defense.” No U.S.-brokered plan will bring peace without accountability for Israel’s ongoing violence.
